Roland Wild Forest Mushrooms are an OK assortment of wild mushrooms (Boletus, Black Fungus / Ear, Oyster and Porcini), but there's nothing fancy or gourmet about them.The mushrooms taste quite good, but they aren't as bursting with flavor as I would expect from an wild mushrooms assortment. They have a mild flavor, the Black Fungus were the most tasty out of the bunch.The size of the mushrooms is all over the place, there are big slices, small bits, even small flakes and dust of mushrooms.Once soaked in water they get quite soft, not a great chew factor (not even from the Black Fungus). Soaking them for 20 minutes it's too much, they get mushy. 5 minutes, then lightly cooking them in a pan is more than enough. The mushroom get really big once hydrated. The leftover juices can be used for cooking other dishes (or just drinking as a soup). If you decide to cook the mushroom with the dish rather than re-hydrate (e.g. with the pasta or the rice), I would add them very late in the cooking process, they overcook easily.They're OK in rice or pasta dishes, not good enough to top toast or a fancy dish.Somehow I was expecting the product to come in a glass jar, but it's just plastic, and a thin lightweight one.

I just kind of stumbled across this, when I was looking at spices and was like “I’m gonna buy that”. I’m glad I did. It really adds a lot of flavor to certain dishes with just a small amount of the mushrooms. I feel the amount given for the price isn’t the worst either, especially since it’s an assortment of dried mushrooms.
It said mixed mushrooms I assumed that they were naturally dried mushrooms That wasn't the case.. They made me sick as a dog Not to mention the flavor was terrible and the bottle was so small for a out ragious price.I will never buy them again ever.

Such a nightmare. There were so many insects and their wings inside the bottle!! Please stay away from this product! Going straight into the trash. See my photos and you can play “spot the insect”. Disgusting.
